Bennett said wearing the cleats this year wasn't planned ahead of time.

"It actually came about when I walked in the locker room (before the game), and because I had them in my bag, and I wasn't sure if I was going to wear them," Bennett said. "Then Brandon Marshall was like, 'Let's wear them.' So I just put them on. I probably wouldn't have worn them if he wouldn't have agreed to it."

There's a strong chance Marshall also was fined, although that hasn't been confirmed.

Last year, Bennett wore the cleats in two consecutive games. The NFL threatened to eject him and give the Bears a penalty if he did it a third time in a row. So, uh, we guess Bennett has one game to work with if he's feeling orange again this week against the Carolina Panthers.
